House Republicans’ ‘Kumbaya’ Retreat Hits Sour Notes

Tea Party House Republicans went to Williamsburg for their retreat this weekend to try to “come together” on a common agenda. From looking at the coverage, they didn't have much luck.

From advising silence on rape to threatening to do “something dramatic” on the economy to failing to decide how to address government default, dysfunctional Republicans spent a lot of time on damage control, not governing. In a move that could have been ripped from The Onion, they ended up taking quite a few of the DCCC’s suggested agenda items to heart.
